Lena Wurz investigates the relationship between walking and thinking, exploring the act and movement of walking, a ritual wandering, through the pace, development and rhythms of her thoughts and emotions. The artist creates her own language and unfolds her narrative with compositions on paper, combining cuttings from books of different sources, such as guidebooks on country walking or a summary of human anatomy and movement, with her monoprint drawings and her personal observations and records from her walks during her time at Nectar.
The audience is welcomed at the entrance of the space with a pocket-size artist’s book, a tool for visiting the exhibition with the aim of perceiving their own walking through hints and facts, instructions and observations, creating different paths, back and forth, in a playful way.
In Framed Flexion, Lena Wurz explores her creative process by mapping her thoughts and transporting them onto different papers and supports, as seen in the series Preparing to Walk (four brown prints), Count your steps until your thoughts interrupt (large folded cut prints), hacia/desde (a series of A4 prints pinned to the wall), the large wooden dice pieces Find a _____ and her sound piece Toe Lines, linked and displayed across the exhibition. Her body of work invites the audience, whose experience is at the heart of the artist’s work, to become active participants by entering a non-linear game through a playful, instructive and reflective language.
